This section describes two database recovery scenarios that demonstrate how to utilize Assure MIMIX for AIX's production and virtual restore capabilities. These two recovery scenarios are database resurrection and database repair.
-
Database resurrection is a restore from a database "crash and burn" scenario, where the database could not come up.
-
Database repair is a restore of a burning, but living database with corrupted data.
Keep in mind that the majority of all database recovery operations require database repairs that are typically performed by Database Administrators (DBAs). Also, the remaining minority of recovery operations need database resurrections that are done by IT administrators. In the burning repair scenario, for example, Assure MIMIX for AIX makes the DBA's job more precise.
